Brian Paddick’s campaign are denying any official connection to a pro-Paddick video doing the rounds. Despite the insistence that it was done by an activist, it features Paddick footage and has been pushed heavily by LibDem HQ. The ad was clearly inspired by US Republican presidential wannabe Tim Pawlenty’s “Courage to Stand”video, and has high production values that do not come cheap.

The ad featuring plenty of TV coverage from the riots, but Guido is wondering when this doctored shot of London burning is from? Certainly not August 2011…
